   For a 2022 release, Paragon deserves more attention than it gets. That first spray gives a lovely Lavender/Sage impression that dries down smoothly. Right away I get mostly Lavender alongside Sage, fresh and very easy to wear. Longevity is moderate and the trail is noticeable without being loud. I can see this getting a lot of wear in my collection.

   Picked up a sample of Paragon after reading the community buzz (2022). After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Plum with Palo Santo, which is where the fragrance really shines. The very first sniff is crisp Lavender with Sage peeking through, very much my kind of start. Longevity is moderate and the trail is noticeable without being loud. A very likeable composition that is easy to appreciate.

   Picked up a sample of Paragon after reading the community buzz (2022). The first minutes are all about Lavender with a hint of Sage — it grabs attention without being pushy. Right away I get mostly Lavender alongside Sage, fresh and very easy to wear. The trail is there if someone steps close, not across the room. I reach for it often and always enjoy the wear.

   For a 2022 release, Paragon deserves more attention than it gets. That first spray gives a lovely Lavender/Sage impression that dries down smoothly. The drydown leans on Sandalwood plus Agarwood (Oud) and that is exactly where it feels most comfortable. It wears beautifully in the office; I can still catch it on my scarf at the end of the day. The composition is well made but not for me.

   For a 2022 release, Paragon deserves more attention than it gets. As it settles, Sandalwood and Agarwood (Oud) come through and give it real depth. The opening is built around Lavender and Sage — bright and immediately recognizable. Three sprays last me most of the day without ever becoming cloying. Easily one of my favourite finds this season.

   I’ve been wearing Paragon on and off for a few weeks now (2022). The very first sniff is crisp Lavender with Sage peeking through, very much my kind of start. Right away I get mostly Lavender alongside Sage, fresh and very easy to wear. The drydown lingers pleasantly, and I do not need to reapply at lunch. I reach for it often and always enjoy the wear.

   A couple of wears in, Paragon has really grown on me. The opening is built around Lavender and Sage — bright and immediately recognizable. The heart is the best part for me: Plum and Palo Santo feel carefully balanced. Two sprays are enough — it carries well without shouting. This one gets my highest praise — beautiful from start to finish.

   I keep reaching for Paragon more than I expected to. The opening is built around Lavender and Sage — bright and immediately recognizable. The drydown leans on Sandalwood plus Agarwood (Oud) and that is exactly where it feels most comfortable. Longevity is moderate and the trail is noticeable without being loud. I enjoy it when I wear it, yet I rarely think of reaching for it.

   I keep reaching for Paragon more than I expected to. Right away I get mostly Lavender alongside Sage, fresh and very easy to wear. The heart is the best part for me: Plum and Palo Santo feel carefully balanced. It performs better in warmer weather — in the heat it opens up nicely. Well done — recommended if the notes appeal to you.
